How to use this grammar worksheet maker
Choose a sheet type, then a level and how many items you want. The preview shows the exact page you'll get — tick “Preview the answer key” to see page two. Click Download PDF and print. Set A and Set B never share an item, so a second day of practice is one click away.
What's included on each grammar sheet
The parts-of-speech, types-of-sentences, and nouns sheets print a numbered sentence with a row of answers under it to circle; on the parts-of-speech and nouns sheets one word is underlined. The plural nouns sheet lists a noun after “one” with a line after “two” for the plural, and the am, is, or are sheet leaves one blank in each sentence. Every blank on a sheet is the same length, so its size never gives the answer away. Every sentence keeps its own punctuation. The answer key on page two sits exactly over page one, with each answer circled or written in an outlined box.
Tips for grammar practice
- For parts of speech, ask a question about the underlined word: a noun names a person, place, or thing, a verb is what someone did, an adjective tells what kind, and an adverb tells how.
- On the types-of-sentences sheet, read each sentence aloud. A command is talking to the listener, even though the word “you” is never said.
- On the hard nouns sheet the noun starts the sentence, so a capital letter is no clue — ask whether it names one particular person, place, or day.
- Say the plurals out loud before writing them: children, mice, and teeth sound different, and that is the first sign a plural is irregular.
- After a sheet, have children write their own sentences on lined paper, or practice the end marks themselves with the punctuation worksheets.
Customization options
Sheet type
Five genuinely different sheets: parts of speech, types of sentences, common and proper nouns, plural nouns, and am, is, or are.
Level
Easy, medium, or hard, defined for each sheet. Parts of speech adds adjectives, then adverbs; types of sentences moves from statements and questions to all four kinds, then to their grammar names; plurals move from adding -s to irregular plurals; and am, is, or are moves from I, you, and we to names, then to two subjects and questions.
Number of items
Six, eight, or ten items. Each sheet balances its answers, so no answer comes up more than three times in a row.
Item set
Set A and Set B use different items at the same sheet and level, so you can practice twice without repeating one.
Paper size
US Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) or A4 (210 × 297 mm). The sheet is laid out again to fill whichever you choose, so nothing is stretched or clipped.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make a grammar worksheet?
Pick a sheet — parts of speech, types of sentences, common and proper nouns, plural nouns, or am, is, or are — then a level, 6, 8, or 10 items, and Set A or Set B. The preview shows the exact page you will get. Click Download PDF and print; the answer key is page two of the same file.
Are these grammar worksheets free?
Yes. No signup, no email, no watermark, and no limit on how many sheets you print. The PDF is built in your browser, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Which grammar skills can I practice?
Five sheets: circle the part of speech of an underlined word (noun and verb, then adjective, then adverb); circle the kind of sentence; decide whether an underlined noun is common or proper; write the plural of a noun, from adding -s up to irregular plurals like children, mice, and teeth; and fill in am, is, or are. Each has easy, medium, and hard levels and two sets of items.
What are the four types of sentences?
A statement, or declarative sentence, tells something and ends with a period. A question, or interrogative sentence, asks something and ends with a question mark. A command, or imperative sentence, tells someone to do something and ends with a period. An exclamation, or exclamatory sentence, shows strong feeling and ends with an exclamation point. The easy sheet sorts statements and questions, the medium sheet uses all four everyday names, and the hard sheet uses the grammar names with longer sentences.
Why do the exclamations all start with What or How?
Because those are the exclamations with one right answer. “What a big fish that is!” and “How tall you are!” are exclamatory by their shape. A sentence like “Wow, that is a big fish.” is a statement that only sounds excited, and an excited command is still a command, so neither kind is used. It is the same rule the punctuation worksheets follow.
Why is the word is never underlined on the parts-of-speech sheet?
Is, was, and can are linking and helping verbs, and many young students learn that a verb is an action word, so underlining them invites an argument. For the same reason, no underlined word has a second common part of speech: run, play, light, and fast are never used, and every underlined word was checked in a learner's dictionary. Each one has a single answer a teacher can mark.
What grade are these grammar worksheets for?
It depends on the skill. In the Common Core standards, common and proper nouns, matching am, is, and are to the subject, adjectives, and the four kinds of sentences are first grade (L.1.1b, L.1.1c, L.1.1f, L.1.1j). Regular plurals start in kindergarten (L.K.1c) and irregular plurals in second grade (L.2.1b), adverbs come in second grade (L.2.1e), and explaining what each part of speech does is third grade (L.3.1a).
Is there an answer key?
Every sheet has one, on page two of the same PDF, laid out exactly over page one. Each answer is circled, or written inside an outlined box, so it stands out even on a black-and-white printer.
